warm-up sketch by mcollins

My drawings take so long to finish..
I might start doing quick sketches to loosen up before tackling my main pieces. It's also a chance to post digital stuff more often

I admire your more detailed work to no end but, I really love the looser brush strokes of this style, it really feels like an oil painting. I honestly don't think i prefer one over the other !

@ponopzop: It was always my goal to merge the two styles into one but I never quite got there. I want to have loose exciting brushstrokes but then include specific areas the painting that have precise detail and form

Welcome back! I like the looser style. Good range of values.
One sitting paintings are fun.
The only problem with them for me is that I get in a zone and can't see it right until I put it down a moment. But flipping it helps.

@tall73: Yeah, I always have to take a quick break, just to see it from a new perspective. When you're engrossed in a painting it's very easy to be blind to the mistakes

You paint like classical artists!!! It is a good bodegón. I think in english is called still-life :)

you say take so long to finish, but do you compare to speed painters or to traditional painters? :P I try to ignore time especially now the web playback is not working, it is just about the result

@madwurmz: thanks :)
I take several sessions to finish a painting. I agree that the end result (and enjoying the process) is important, but I hardly ever upload anything because of the length of time it takes me to work
